Amazing Cooking Experience in Cusco! - Ronal’s cooking class and market tour was fabulous, definitely a highlight of our trip! He was incredibly knowledgeable about ingredients, recipes, and cooking in general (you can definitely tell he’s a professional chef, he knows what he’s doing!) and was excited to share his knowledge and experience with us. The food and drinks were delicious, and we were able to help with everything and ultimately make our own dinner. It was a very small group, so it was perfect for getting to know each other and Ronal and his family. Overall an incredible experience and worth every penny!

Great experience, don't miss it. - We had a fantastic time with Ronal during the market tour and the class. It's great learning to make some local dishes and hear more about Peruvian culture. Ronal is great at sharing his knowledge and background, you can see he really knows what he's talking about. Even if you are not used to cook very often, he'll make you feel confident to prepare the dish you choose and assist you so the outcome is perfect. I'd definitely do it again if I ever return to Cusco.

Don't think twice - book this class! - DO THIS TOUR! it was amazing. Ronal is a culinary trained chef and is so knowledgeable about Peruvian food. He is super friendly, the venue was lovely as well. He showed us around the markets and showed us lots of different produce. We then cooked some DELISH food and made a pisco sour. It was such a nice way to spend an afternoon/evening and i can't stress enough, just do it! Enjoy

Delicious food and interesting market tour! EVERYONE NEEDS TO WASH HANDS THOUGH! - The final food product from the Pisco Sour to the main dish was absolutely delicious! The market tour was very interesting, and the restaurant owner was from the area and knew a lot of inside information. I deducted one star because of the sanitation. When the owner was talking about all of the potatoes at the beginning, he had been using his cell phone and never washed his hand before touching our food; then he passed those same potatoes to all the tour participants, and then he put them directly in the pot for us to eat later without washing his hands or the potatoes - very unsanitary. Then during the cooking process, he and other participants were using their cell phones and then touching food that we were all going to eat without washing their hands after touching their cell phones - again VERY unsanitary. Many studies have found that a normal person's cell phone has more bacteria--and dangerous ecoli--than a public toilet. EVERYONE including the owner must wash hands directly before touching food and not allow ANYONE to touch food without washing their hands right before touching food. I had diarrhea within 24 hours and hadn't eaten anything differently than this meal, and I attribute it to not enforcing the washing of hands and using cell phones (like putting your hands in a public toilet) and then touching our food. If that had been enforced for everyone including the owner, it would definitely be a 5-star experience. Maybe this review will call it to the owner's attention to enforce in future workshops.
